About Exotac Outdoor Gear... Exotac, Inc. is what happens when Engineers and guys-who-love-the-outdoors are combined. They are a privately held, family owned small business based out of Buford, Georgia. The company was started by a Purdue Engineering graduate with a passion for all things man and earth made. They combined some aluminum with a little dirt and the rest is history!
Their vision is based upon designing extraordinary, high-quality and unique outdoor products. They spare no expense and make absolutely no compromises when it comes to product design and manufacturing quality. Their products are not mass-manufactured by the lowest bidder. They manufacture each product in smaller quantity runs which allows them to make improvments along the way.
The only downside is that ferro rods need replacing more often than firesteel. A firesteel will give you about 12k strikes compared to about 1.5k from a ferro of similar size. Even though I use fewer strikes of the ferro than I would a firesteel, the firesteel still wins on longevity.
Overall, I'll still take a ferro rod over a firesteel any day -- 1,500 strikes is a lot of fires, and they are still pretty cheap to replace when needed.
Hi guys, got my CRKT today and as usual you have the best selection, user friendly site and great prices. It's why I don't go anywhere else when I need a knife. Thanks.
